Body Scrubs, Body Polish & Salt Glows
Our skin is in a constant state of turnover; dead cells rise to the surface and are replaced by new ones. Over time, these cells can accumulate, leading to dull and uneven skin. Body scrubs gently remove these dead skin cells, unveiling the new, soft skin beneath.
When should you use a body scrub? If you're wondering when to use an exfoliating body scrub, make sure you use it after you have showered or bathed, and after you have used shower gel, soap or body wash. This ensures your skin is clean and prepped for exfoliation, and the warm water ensures your skin is damp and soft.
According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hope Mitchell, founder of Mitchell Dermatology, the right body scrub can even “stimulate circulation, improve skin texture, and enhance the absorption of moisturizers and other skin-care products.”
For most people, body exfoliation 2–3 times each week is enough to keep your skin in top condition. To exfoliate properly, make sure the water in your shower is warm—this will help open your pores. Then, gently scrub your exfoliating body scrub in circles over your skin.
